Fake projective plane

In mathematics, a fake projective plane (or Mumford surface) is one of the 50 complex algebraic surfaces that have the same Betti numbers as the projective plane, but are not isomorphic to it. Such objects are always algebraic surfaces of general type. (Wikipedia).

The circle and projective homogeneous coordinates | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 7a | NJ Wildberger

Universal hyperbolic geometry is based on projective geometry. This video introduces this important subject, which these days is sadly absent from most undergrad/college curriculums. We adopt the 19th century view of a projective space as the space of one-dimensional subspaces of an affine

Introduction to Projective Geometry (Part 2)

The second video in a series about projective geometry. We list the axioms for projective planes, give an examle of a projective plane with finitely many points, and define the real projective plane.

Frédéric Mangolte: Algebraic models of the line in the real affine plane

Abstract: We study the following real version of the famous Abhyankar-Moh Theorem: Which real rational map from the affine line to the affine plane, whose real part is a non-singular real closed embedding of ℝ into ℝ^2, is equivalent, up to a birational diffeomorphism of the plane, to the
